Michelle Kaplan has worked in corporate America for over thirty years as a human resources professional with a focus on Organizational Effectiveness and Leadership Development. Her vision is to transform teams and corporate cultures by allowing individuals to collectively bring their true selves to work every day in the form of their unique talents and strengths. Whether strategizing and implementing organizational initiatives, coaching, or training, Michelle is passionate about motivating and empowering people into right action to live their soul's purpose. Her mission is to help those she works with reconnect with their personal power to create the outward changes they seek from within. Since her breast cancer diagnosis in 2004, Michelle has been "walking the talk" by consciously aligning who she is with what she does. With her alarm set for early mornings most days, Michelle practices her unorthodox method of meditation, disguised in her early morning workouts, and poetry writing, with the intention of self-discovery, for at least an hour a day. Her personal story of adopting her daughter from Guatemala was highlighted in Jack Canfield's book, Living the Success Principles. Michelle's personal and professional experiences, combined with her natural intuitiveness, provide a uniquely contemporary and relevant perspective throughout her writings on subjects about who we really are that have been explored for centuries. Speaking loud, fast, and often, no one's more pleasantly surprised than Michelle that her unvarnished musings are organically chronicled in poetic verse. As a writer of fewer words, her natural writing style matches her personal mantra, "Keep it simple. Keep it real." Truth asks for only that.
